NOW
AVAILABLE!
In an effort to expand our outreach to the
masses who are searching for and needing
Messianic instruction, we are now offering
online Bible studies, delivered by TNN Online
editor J.K. McKee. Every Wednesday a new
teaching which deals with pertinent topics for
today’s Messianic Believers will be presented.
For the most part, these studies will be
focusing on specific books of the Bible, but may
from time to time deal with critical subjects as
well.

Started
15 April 2009:
Colossians-Philemon Bible Study
Started on April 15, we began a Bible study on
Paul's letters to the Colossians and Philemon.
Neither one of these epistles has received a
great deal of attention in contemporary
Messianic thought or preaching. This study will
explore the series of circumstances that
necessitated Paul writing the Colossians, the
mix of religious errors circulating in Colossae,
and his instructions to Philemon on what to do
with the runaway Onesimus. TNN Online editor J.K.
McKee will be considering the First Century
context of Colossians-Philemon, and how today's
Messianics need to be consciously aware of
various proposals made in contemporary
scholarship. Likely connections with with
parallel letter of Ephesians will also be
addressed. This study will challenge many of us
to not overlook these two epistles any more.
JUNE 2009
 Dear
Friends:
Circumstances
always have a way of changing your plans. As we were ending the
month of May and getting ready to enter the month of June, I had it all figured out. Shavuot was
going to take place, I was going to be blessed by commemorating
the event, and then I would sit down and write an appropriate
companion piece to last month's, "What
Are 'Works of the Law'?" on the clause dia
pisteōs Iēsou Christou, or "the faithfulness of Yeshua the
Messiah" in Galatians 2:16 and other Pauline passages. (This
will just have to wait until July.)
And then the
problem hit. I suppose this is what you get in a market today
that is saturated with cheap, Chinese-made computers. After 19
months my main machine crashed, and I got delayed for 10 days.
Fortunately, everything was backed up and all I lost was time to
work on what I had planned. But simply because one's main
computer is down and out does not mean that no work at all gets
accomplished. We have a big, ongoing book printing project going
on, after all. So I printed out a copy of our current
Messianic Winter Holiday Helper, got out
my editing pencils and highlighters, my yellow legal pad, and
started to see what needed to be done to make this publication
bigger and better.
What I wrote in my
down and out time last week is actually going to be a part of
the forthcoming paperback Winter Holiday Helper, which we
hope to have printed near the end of this year. Analyzing the
things that needed to be added, I saw that we could really focus
a great deal upon the relevant books of the Bible (and the
Apocrypha) that are seldom ever read during Chanukah. One
of the most significant texts that relates to the time period of
the Maccabees is actually the Book of Daniel. Yet Daniel is not
only a text of Scripture that relates to the Maccabees, but a
very important book that affects anyone who studies end-time
prophecy. So in my editing work, I sat down and began to
write...thinking that all I was doing was busywork.
Circumstances
having intervened, I think you will find this month's lead
article, "The
Message of Daniel," a very informative
read. Some of you may have never read Daniel all the way
through, only hearing bits and pieces of Daniel here or there.
If this has been your encounter with Daniel, I think you will
find this article quite informative. And, if you have read
Daniel before, this article will also let you know how some
passages have been interpreted or approached by different
theological schools of thought--especially with a lot of the
hype and sensationalism floating around today!
Until next
month...
J.K.
McKee
